Mildred Considine (nee Anderson) (1904 or 1908-1983) was an American columnist and author. Born in Coyle, Oklahoma, she grew up in various small towns across that state and later moved to Kansas City. In the early 1930s she married her husband, Hearst newspaper reporter and columnist Bob Considine. Better known to everyone as Millie, she wrote her own columns on society and travel, had a radio show on the Mutual Broadcasting system for five years, and wrote about her life in Just a Minute, Mrs. Gulliver: Being the Account of the Travels and Travails of Mrs. Bob Considine (1967).
The Mildred Considine Papers consist of biographical material and writings. The bulk of the material relates to her memoir, Just a Minute, Mrs. Gulliver.
The collection remains largely in original order, as donated.
